History met innovation as Chinese and Japanese architects and cultural experts gathered at Expo 2025’s China Pavilion in Osaka for a vibrant exchange about cross-border creativity. The event – blending Tang Dynasty splendor with modern tech – is rewriting how Gen Z engages with ancient wisdom! 🏯
Key speakers like Kyoto University’s Yuko Hasegawa and Chinese architect Wang Yiwu explored how Tang-era wooden structures (think: 7th-century engineering marvels 🛠️) continue inspiring global design. The launch of Tang Architecture: Building Timeless Glory’s Japanese edition added fuel to the conversation, proving historical aesthetics never go out of style.
Attendees dived into an interactive digital exhibition showcasing Tang Dynasty masterpieces – imagine VR walkthroughs of pagodas that shaped East Asian architecture! 🎮 This cultural collab highlights how shared heritage can build modern bridges, with one visitor tweeting: 'It’s like Assassin’s Creed meets art class – but better.'
With 45% of Expo 2025 visitors under 30, events like this prove ancient traditions are anything but dusty. As Wang Yiwu noted: 'When a Tang roof meets a Tokyo skyline, magic happens.' ✨
